Public Broadcasters Doordarshan, Akashvani Offer Free Content Access Amid ANI Vs YouTubers
Last Updated: Following the ANI copyright controversy, government-run agencies like Prasar Bharati, Akashvani, Doordarshan, and PIB have opened up their content archives to creators. Amid the Asian News International (ANI) vs YouTubers controversy, multiple government-run agencies have come forward, providing content creators free or affordable content access to their platforms. Earlier, the Press Trust of India (PTI) had announced an 'affordable access to PTI videos for YouTube content and for use in other social media platforms". In line with the same, other government-run agencies, including the Prasar Bharti, Akashvani, Doordarshan National, and even the Press Information Bureau (PIB) have announced accessible content for content creators and its use on all social media platforms, including YouTube. In an X post, Akashvani mentioned that content creators can get access to shorts, explainers, and documentaries in their language in 50 categories and 15 languages, all for free. चाहे हो एक्सप्लेनर, शॉर्ट्स या डॉक्यूमेंट्री- अपनी भाषा में पाएं सब कुछ।50 श्रेणियां, 15 भाषाएं- सब कुछ मुफ्त @PBSHABD पर। #CreatorsWithShabd — Akashvani आकाशवाणी (@AkashvaniAIR) May 29, 2025 In a similar post, Prasar Bharati mentioned it was offering 'Rare visuals, historic clips, and reliable data- all free for creators". The same was reposted by the PIB. The Doordarshan National quoted a post by Prasar Bharati and wrote, 'Creators can now set aside copyright concerns and access". It also mentioned that Prasar Bharati is a 'platform for free 24/7 easily accessible news clips, audio materials, written stories and visuals" and that it is 'fully copyright-free and authorised for use". The X post also mentioned that Prasar Bharati's content is from 'verified resources for media organisations and creators for every event across India". 'PBShabd offers a dependable, always-available source of clear, accessible content allowing creators and media organisations to easily share, create and develop content without restrictions or additional costs," it added. THE CONTROVERSY AROUND ANI COPYRIGHT VIDEOS A controversy against ANI flared up after prominent YouTubers, including Mohak Mangal, accused the platform of misusing YouTube's copyright strike system. They also alleged ANI was using the same to target independent creators and then allegedly demanding hefty sums in exchange for withdrawing those strikes. Later, Mangal, on his YouTube channel, uploaded a short video, accusing ANI of exploiting YouTube's copyright enforcement mechanism for issuing takedown notices against creators. In his video, he specifically alleged that ANI had issued two copyright strikes against his channel for using video clips lasting just 9 and 11 seconds, drawn from ANI footage related to the Kolkata rape case and 'Operation Sindoor'. Mangal's video quickly gained traction, prompting other creators to speak out. YouTuber Rajat Pawar alleged he had faced a similar situation and that ANI had issued two strikes on his videos and then offered to remove them if he either paid a penalty or signed up for an annual licensing package worth Rs 18 lakh. Pawar claimed he was warned that failure to cooperate could also result in his channel being taken down. As the matter reached the Delhi High Court, it on Thursday directed Mangal to remove objectionable portions from his video. In its defamation suit filed before the Delhi High Court, the wire agency stated that the video deliberately spread falsehoods with the intent to target and malign its public image.

Influencer Mohak Mangal agrees to remove ‘objectionable' parts from YouTube video on ANI
Content creator Mohak Mangal told the Delhi High Court on Thursday that he would remove the portions of a video that news agency ANI termed as being defamatory and disparaging. ANI had filed a defamation suit against Mangal, objecting to a video where he accused the news agency of allegedly extorting content creators by raising copyright strikes on YouTube for using its news feed and then offering them a licensing deal. Mangal claimed that ANI raised copyright strikes on his video and then approached him, offering an initial licensing deal of Rs 40 lakh for a year, which was then allegedly negotiated down to the same amount for a two-year licensing period. Taking objection to the YouTube video titled 'Dear ANI', the news agency's suit also included comedian Kunal Kamra, AltNews co-founder Mohammed Zubair, and unknown entities as defendants for sharing Mangal's video on their X handles. Kamra and Zubair also agreed to take down the posts referring to the video. The court directed that the posts be taken down within 24 hours, and following compliance, they may be deleted from being parties to the suit. Mangal proposed to present a red-line version or a revised version of the video in the first half of the hearing after Justice Amit Bansal orally remarked on the use of imputations such as 'vasooli', 'ghatiya', etc, and said, 'The videos on the face of it are disparagement.' Senior advocate Chander Lall, appearing for Mangal, opposed ANI's suit, submitting that they have no right to license in 'de minimis' use, which refers to the principle that very minor or insignificant uses of copyrighted material are not actionable as infringement. Lall further argued, 'They have no right to license and they are extorting Rs 40 lakh from me. I must have a remedy which is going to press.' However, Justice Bansal orally remarked, 'You want to use videos without taking licence. You use, why would you come out with these kind of statements?' Senior advocate Amit Sibal, appearing for ANI, told the court that with the use of ANI's feed as well as logo in his videos, Mangal had violated ANI's copyright, and is using the same to earn money from the videos he posts on YouTube. 'He starts a media campaign against me that has spiralled into a concerted campaign which is nothing short of vilifying and, per se, defamatory. They are calling me thugs, extortionists, gunda, other expletives,' Sibal said. After presenting the red line version – through a revised transcript of the video after removing the parts ANI objected to – Justice Bansal recorded Lall's submission that Mangal shall put the impugned video in private mode which would not be accessible to the public at large, and after making the necessary amendments to the impugned video with the objected portions removed, the video may be reposted back on the public forum.

Delhi HC Orders YouTuber Mohak Mangal To Take Down Defamatory Content Against ANI
Last Updated: Mangal, uploaded a video titled 'Dear ANI' suggesting that ANI's copyright enforcement and licensing fee requirements on YouTube were akin to extortion. The Delhi High Court on Thursday ordered YouTuber Mohak Mangal to remove objectionable content from his video accusing the news agency Asian News International (ANI) of extortion and blackmail. The court's decision was in response to ANI's defamation suit, which alleged the video spread falsehoods, damaging its reputation. Mangal, who has around 4.21 million subscribers, uploaded a video titled 'Dear ANI', suggesting that ANI's copyright enforcement and licensing fee requirements on YouTube amounted to extortion. Justice Amit Bansal stated that Mangal should have expressed his opinion more civilly. ''Hafta wasooli', 'gunda raaj'… You will take this down… Do it today. Whoever is using this kind of language, please follow instructions." Senior advocate Amit Sibal and advocate Sidhant Kumar, representing ANI, argued before the court that the content was both defamatory and inflammatory. 'He started a media campaign against me (ANI) that spiralled into a concerted campaign which is nothing short of vilifying and, per se, defamatory. They are calling me a thug, extortionist, gunda," Sibal said. 'If they have a grievance against me, they can't call me and extort money… that I will block your channel if you don't pay," Lall said.
